New Beginings: A Tale of Coincidence, and Magic.
« on: June 25, 2011, 08:50:32 pm »

"Awaken..."

A voice calls to you in your sleep...

"Fight..."

You see an old woman standing near a tree teeming with blossoms...

"Survive..."

In a flash, the tree wilts and dies, the woman produces an evil smile and flies towards you.
Then all goes black.

"Awaken!"


Screams of terror, roaring flames, cries of futile battle. You awaken to a sword in your face, a man looming over you, he says something in foreign tongue. You are frozen with terror for your life, the man shouts another phrase, getting angry, he raises his arm for a strike to end your life...

The woman in your dream appears in your mind's eye, she waves her hand towards the bandit, then disappears with a softened thump. The bandit gurgles out even more unrecognizable sounds then falls over with his sword still clenched in his hand...

With all this fear and confusion, you sense that a new consciousness has developed in your mind, and that you will have to fight it to stay yourself.



Not to be disrespectful, incase I just missed something. But this is the first suggestion game with actual plot that has appeared on this board for a while. And in case it's not clear, the insanity that are the suggestions to come is the new consciousness.

You look around, trying to find the woman, seeing if she simple moved away when you were distracted. But it seems she really dissapeared like she appreared, instantly.

You consider where you are, and confirm that you are still in your hovel. You hear more screams of terror, and get a feeling of urgency, both to run and get away from all the death, and to take arm and try to defeat the bandits that raid your village.

You ignore your desire to go and defend your home, though you still grab the bandit's sword, it's dangerous to go out alone. Simply peering outside gives you a sense of dread, watching neighbor's homes burn to the ground, you sneak around to the back and start dashing off to the woods. Half-way through the farmlands you hear a gallop behind you, you turn around just as the rider reaches you and tramples you.

Not knowing what to do, and still alive, you lay there pretending to be dead. The bandit hops off his horse, walks over to you and laughs, then attempts to make sure your dead.

"Fight!"

The voice rings in your ears, and you swing the sword up to block the second death strike against you. You hop to your feet and begin dueling the bandit, with seemingly uncharacteristic skill you manage to get in a few swipes and cuts against your assailant, but overall you are losing. Bleeding out of a large cut across your chest, and your left arm, you strike once more, but the bandit deftly side-steps you and cuts at your leg, which causes you to fall to you knees.

The bandit taunts you in the same language as his brethren, and as he strikes you you see nothing but blackness.

"Survive!

You awaken some time later, the embers of your village still burning hot. You attempt to get up, but to no avail, instead you lay there motionless, awaiting death to find you. Instead you find that you are not the only survivor of the raid, and soon, 8 of your once humble village of 30 gather around weeping for those lost, some making plans on what to do next. You simply stand, in pain, waiting for something to happen.
